Dwayne Bravo also opened up on his post-retirement plans, saying he would love to take up a coaching role once he hangs his boots from franchise cricket. He said:
Bravo has 40 Tests, 164 ODIs and 90 T20Is under his belt. The Trinidadian flourished mostly in the shorter formats, scoring 1245 runs and picking up 78 wickets with the best figures of 4/19.
“He said half of it” - Dwayne Bravo on Chris Gayle’s retirement
West Indies opener Chris Gayle is also in the twilight of his career, having represented West Indies for over two decades. The 42-year-old received a warm welcome from his teammates and the spectators after his brief innings against Australia.
While speculation was at an all-time high about Gayle’s retirement, Dwayne Bravo revealed that he hasn’t decided anything yet. Bravo concluded:
A legend of T20 cricket, Gayle has donned the maroons in 79 T20Is, 301 ODIs and 103 Test matches. The southpaw has over 18000 international runs under his belt, including 42 centuries.
